Chapter 2319 - 2311: Divine Soul Transformation

Although the experts of the Yu Emperor Holy Sect were puzzled, they didn’t think much of it at first. However, after another hour passed, Huang Xiaolong was still nowhere to be seen.

This raised their suspicions.

As half a day passed with no movement from the Holy Lake, even the Emperor Yu Saint began to doubt. According to his calculations, someone with a talent ranked over 900 in the Enlightenment Saint Realm should not be able to remain in the Holy Lake for more than two hours.

Yet now, it’s been not only two hours but even half a day!

This!

Could this kid be deceiving him?

Thinking of this, the Emperor Yu Saint felt displeased and said to Di Huai, "Brother Di Huai, is it true that Huang Xiaolong’s Enlightenment Saint Realm is ranked over 900? Could he be deceiving me?"

The experts of the Yu Emperor Holy Sect also looked at Di Huai.

Di Huai was taken aback, then smiled, "It shouldn’t be, actually, I’m not very sure about his Enlightenment Saint Realm either."

"Not very sure?" The Emperor Yu Saint frowned, "Brother Di Huai, Huang Xiaolong is the leading Saint Heir of your Holy Sect, and you’re not clear about his situation?"

Di Huai, as the Guardian Holy Beast of the Zhuoyuan Saint Sect, not knowing the talent of the leading Saint Heir, was something the Emperor Yu Saint did not believe.

Di Huai laughed, "I’ve been secluded in cultivation in the Forbidden Land of the Zhuoyuan Saint Sect for billions of years, so I’m not really clear about Huang Xiaolong’s talent."

Hearing this, the Emperor Yu said no more.

At this moment, Huang Xiaolong and the Holy Heirs of the Yu Emperor Holy Sect, including Liu Qing, were sitting cross-legged within five arrays in the Holy Lake, each activating their cultivation techniques to absorb the energy from the Holy Lake.

As Huang Xiaolong and the others continued to devour the lake’s energy, layers of Holy Light appeared on their bodies.

However, the Holy Light on Huang Xiaolong was the strongest.

Visible golden light constantly gathered from all parts of the Holy Lake towards Huang Xiaolong, continuously surging into his body, as a brilliant glow emitted from the Holy Destiny Seal on his forehead.

Sitting cross-legged within the array and continually devouring the energy from the Holy Lake, Huang Xiaolong felt an unprecedented comfort and relaxation throughout his body, as if his soul was being liberated.

Huang Xiaolong seemed to have entered another world, a golden world.

In this golden world, Huang Xiaolong soared freely, detaching from the control of the world, detaching from the Heavenly Dao, the Holy Dao, and the rules.

Mystically, Huang Xiaolong seemed to transcend the Six Daos and Reincarnation.

Images and scenes flashed before Huang Xiaolong’s eyes.

Some from his past life, some from this life.

Scenes of his past life on Earth were so clear, as if he was re-experiencing them again.

One day, two days, quickly, more than ten days passed.

After more than ten days, under the eyes of the Emperor Yu Saint’s experts, suddenly, the light of the Holy Lake began to tremble.

This was a sign that someone inside the Holy Lake could no longer endure its energy and was about to leave.

The Emperor Yu joked with Di Huai, "Brother Di Huai, could it be your Sect’s Huang Xiaolong? Thirteen days! I didn’t expect he’d be able to cultivate in the Holy Lake for thirteen days; such talent is not bad at all. No wonder you spent a trillion to allow him to go in for cultivation."

Di Huai caught the mocking tone in Emperor Yu’s words and smiled, "I’m quite surprised he could cultivate inside for thirteen days."

He knew his old friend Emperor Yu probably thought Huang Xiaolong had deceived him before, hence the unfavorable perception of Huang Xiaolong.

At this moment, a figure flew out from the Holy Lake.

"It’s Kong Hui!"

Someone from the Yu Emperor Holy Sect exclaimed, and everyone looked to see that it was indeed Kong Hui, the Saint Heir of the Yu Emperor Holy Sect, and the least talented of the four who went in, ranked over 300 in the Enlightenment Saint Realm. It was unexpected that Kong Hui would be the first to exit!

Initially, the experts of the Yu Emperor Holy Sect, like the Emperor Yu Saint, thought Huang Xiaolong would be the one to exit.

The Emperor Yu Saint was stunned to see that it was his Saint Heir, Kong Hui.

"Brother Di Huai, it seems I underestimated your Saint Heir Huang Xiaolong’s talent," the Emperor Yu Saint laughed to Di Huai, "However, the next to leave the Holy Lake should be him, right?"

Di Huai laughed, "Brother Yu, how about we make a bet? If the next to leave the Holy Lake is Huang Xiaolong, I’ll give you another trillion. If not, then you return that trillion to me. How about it?"

"This." The Emperor Yu Saint hesitated, then laughed, "Let’s bet on who comes out last. If my disciple Liu Qing is the last to come out, you give me another trillion; if Huang Xiaolong is the last, I’ll return that trillion to you. How about it?"

Di Huai was momentarily stunned, hesitating. Although Huang Xiaolong possessed an evolving Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, and Holy Body, he was indeed currently ranked over 900. Even with a Holy Destiny Seal, he couldn’t be sure how long Huang Xiaolong could cultivate inside.

"Alright!" Di Huai finally nodded.

Seeing Di Huai nod, Emperor Yu laughed, "Brother Di Huai, you might lose this one. My disciple Liu Qing’s Enlightenment Saint Realm, Holy Veins, and Holy Body rank over 90."

"Over 90." Di Huai was a little surprised.

Emperor Yu smiled, "Indeed." His greatest pride was having such an excellent disciple.

Days passed, and the Holy Lake trembled again.

The experts of the Yu Emperor Holy Sect saw this, their spirits lifted, eyes fixed on the Holy Lake, then, a figure flew out.

However, the faces of the Yu Emperor Holy Sect soured with disappointment; the second out was still their Saint Heir.

Another eight days passed.

This time, out again was their Saint Heir.

Finally, only Huang Xiaolong and the Yu Emperor’s direct disciple Liu Qing remained.

Yet, Emperor Yu’s face remained calm, still confident in his disciple.

More than ten days passed, this being the forty-third day since Huang Xiaolong and the others entered, and the originally calm Holy Lake trembled with light once more.

Emperor Yu sat up straight, and even Di Huai widened his eyes, with the experts of the Yu Emperor Holy Sect holding their breath.

Finally, a figure emerged.

But immediately, Emperor Yu looked bewildered and disappointed.

The one who came out was actually his disciple Liu Qing!

Di Huai let out a long breath, finally putting his heart at ease.

...

Three months later, Huang Xiaolong, Di Huai, and the others boarded a spaceship, departing the Yu Emperor Sacred Land, continuing their journey toward Holy Heaven.

A few days ago, Huang Xiaolong had already exited the Holy Lake.

This time, cultivating in the Yu Emperor Holy Lake, Huang Xiaolong astonishingly broke through to the Supreme Second-stage Early Stage, and his Divine Soul underwent a transformation. What kind of transformation it was, Huang Xiaolong could not describe. Regardless, after this transformation, his Divine Soul had become somewhat akin to a Saint’s Holy Soul.

"What a pity," Huang Xiaolong thought to himself. If he could have cultivated in the Holy Lake for a few more years, his Divine Soul might really have transformed into a Saint’s Holy Soul. At that point, he would truly transcend the Six Daos and surpass Reincarnation.
